Chapters, user groups, major projects and other significant Wikimedia-related or open-knowledge-related organisations are invited to participate in the Community Village, a shared exhibition space and a main social area of the conference. It's the opportunity to build awareness with the Wikimedia movement, other open projects and the general public. It is a space to have informal meetings and small training sessions, and to look at posters about projects and initiatives.

We are an open movement: Open communities are working towards common goals, let's do something together!

We want to enable and support the exchange of ideas, inspiration and experience within the open movement.

We want to inform each other about our initiatives and projects and encourage them to get involved.

We want to get feedback (best practice, worst practice) to improve our work in the future.
